Help Us | April 30th

"O Lord, there is none like you to help, between the mighty and the weak. Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you, "

  2 Chronicles 14:11

   The prayer is simple, the plea genuine, God help. It will not take many eloquent words to catch the attention of our Lord. God is attentive to the cry of His people. It is His nature to have compassion upon us. This does not mean we are exempt from trials, persecutions, and burdens. But through them all, He is with us.

  We choose to trust in the Lord, coming to Him in prayer. Let us acknowledge our need for God's help. He helps the weak. The needy and defenseless can rely upon the Lord's divine intervention on their behalf. God works things for the good of our salvation, even that which appears to be against us. The Lord will not abandon us in our difficult hour. He will minister grace and peace unto us. None can and will help like our Lord.

In Christ Alone,

Out of the Pit | April 29th

"You brought my life from the pit, O Lord my God."

  Jonah 2:6

   The pit of sin and despair is bottomless. No one could ever free themselves from this pit of death. God's merciful hand alone had to reach us, taking hold and lifting us from the wages of sin and death.

    The gracious hand of God still holds you to this day, beloved. He has promised that nothing in this world shall ever be able to pluck you from the hand of God.

    The Lord keeps you, loves you, and watches over you this day. He who lifted you from the pit into the hope of eternal life will continue to keep you. Do not be anxious for today or tomorrow. If the Lord helped you when you were powerless and alienated from Him. How much more now will the grace of God be extended to you because you belong to Him?

   Your position in Christ is sure and steadfast.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight

Dark Times | April 26th

"But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."

  Luke 22:53

   Have you ever attempted to see something in the dark? Trying to figure out what you are looking at or attempting to complete a task? Things do not always seem as if they are in the dark. There are moments in life when darkness comes, and it appears darkness is prevailing.

  I am sure those who came to arrest Jesus in the garden that night thought they were in control. They assumed they had the authority and knew what the outcome would be at that moment. All who were involved and witnessing that night and the days to follow could not see or understand what God was doing. The God of all creation was in control. 

   He was doing a new thing, something that had never entered into the heart of man. No one had ever seen or heard of this glorious plan of salvation that involved the Son of God laying down His life.

   Beloved, you may be in a dark period of your life now in which the darkness seems to be in control. The Lord told them that this was their hour, but they did not realize the victory that was to come. God is working all things for the good of our salvation, even in the dark days when we cannot see His immediate goodness. The Lord is in control today.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
